American, speakine ol this party, says :
" The process of this new formation is tapidlv
going: on. A ronvention has been held iii the
Western Reserve of Ohio at which the esalition
of thc elements, lM inm in Wisconsin and con-tinued
in New York, reccitud another link of
unity. Mr. (iiomsus, once known as a Whir,
figured in this eonvenuon. The nsme of" Free
Democracy M was Used upon eM Hr»of»ted as
ihe designation of the new party.
One of the resolutions declared, that » the Free
Democrats of the Western Reserve will firmly
adhere to the principles proclaimed at Buffalo,
August 10, 1848, and at Columbus, December
29, 1848 j and they further say, that "discard-
»g all alliance with any other party, we will
court i union with all men upon these principles,
for the sake of freedom."
It will be found that when die history nf th*
cause which brought about the defeat ofthe Whir
candidates for Tongrcss in Connecticut, has been
fully exposed, that the same elements were nniT
ted to accomplish that object, which we now sec
exhibited to form an alliance throughout the W-n
